6.0 Information Items 

6.1 College Marketer Address 

San Jose City College’s President and/or College Marketer will address the 

councilDeferred 

6.2 El Salvador Trip 

Marjorie Clark passes around the funding proposal and would like to thank the council for 

letting her come to the meeting and talk about the program. She briefly talks about the history 

of EVC’s learning service program which sponsored two trips in the past to Guajaca, Mexico 

in 2005 and 2006; these trips were contributively funded by the Associated Students at both 

SJCC and EVC. SJCC AS in one year contributed $2000 and $2500 in the other year. This 

year’s El Salvador trip is an alternative Spring break which purposes to take the students to El 

Salvador to participate in cultural educational and community service experience. The 

scholarship was opened to the students at EVC as well as SJCC and was competitive with 41 

applicants whose GPA rank from 2.0 to 3.2. It was very tough for the committee to decide 

who wins the trip since every applicant seems deserve to go. The funding proposal is looking 

for funds of $4000 from SJCC AS. The EVC AS has committed to fund $4000 and the EVC 

AS Council will vote on it next week. The Foundation at SJEVCC has contributed $6000. 

Students who are going on this trip will receive one UC/CSU transferable unit which is 

Spanish 9880-Directed Learning and have to pay $200 out of pocket. The cost of one student 

for this trip is $1025.56 (itemized estimation is attached to the minutes). There are 3 advisors 

joining this trip. Funds from the Associated Students will be solely used for students. 

Phil Crawford says that SJCC do have a Global Study Community on campus which is 

offering two courses and the students can also receive 3 units of service learning when study 

abroad. Marjorie Clark was not aware of that but now she can contact SJCC Vice President 

of Academic Affair Luis Loid for more information. 

Most of the meeting attendants do not know that about the scholarship program when it was 

opening. 

6.3 Pool Tables 

AS President discusses with the council on removing pool tables in student lounge by the end 

of next week because students have been utilize these pool tables inappropriately. Students 

can come to the AS office and let the AS know what game they want to put in the lounge as 

replacements. 

6.4 Posters 

AS Vice President discussed with the council on charging students who wants to make 

posters from the AS’s printer. Clubs used to be allowed to make 4 posters with laminate 

6.5 Club Day 

Council will vote to release $153.13 to pay the difference on the invoice of BBQ on club day. 

6.6 Transfer of funds 

Council will vote on transferring from account #4220.20 to account #4572.80 for AS meeting 

refreshments during Spring 2009. 

6.7 Hall of Excellence 

Chau Lam passes out a print-out version of the presentation for the AS Hall of Excellence 

budget with the proposal of reducing the budget into half. Kelli Melocik does not agree with 

some information from the print-outs which she thinks is irrelevant. Kenny Gutierrez says the 

AS has been spending too much money for such an event like this. He says there usually are 

100 invitations for guests who are students and staff coming to this event. Base on the 

information from the budget, he says spending roughly $40 person for a dinner is wasteful, 

not to mention expenses for awards. While we protest against educational budget cut, we

should not spend this much money for a banquet. David Coatney says that there should be 

more research and discussions before throwing out figures. Chau Lam says she obtained the 

information from previous years in order to make the AS council have a better view on how 

budget has been spent on this event. Phil Renteria says there is no action asked to act on this 

item today, therefore everyone here can take time to look at the issue until it goes on Action 

Items next week. 

6.8 Dream Act 

Kenny Gutierrez discusses about Dream Act (The Development, Relief, and Education for 

Alien Minors) which addresses the situation faced by young people who were brought to the 

United States years ago as undocumented immigrant children, and who have since grown up 

here, stayed in school, and kept out of trouble. 

6.9 Campus security program 

Phil Crawford says that Campus Security Program has been worked on for a couple of years. 

The reason is it takes a long time to get approval from Board of Trustees and the Chancellor 

as well as funding for the program. At first, the program was tried to work through the 

campus police office but did not come out a result due to some challenges such as 

understaffed and underfunded problems. As proposed, there will be a five-unit course created 

for the program which is called in campus patrol safety. This course is offered to students 

who attend the program to make campus safer and more user-friendly to students, especially 

female students and staff. The project will cost $15,000 a year which primarily a total amount 

of wages that paid for students who work for the program. The program will offer two-hour 

safeguard at nighttime from Monday through Thursday and each student will be paid $10 per 

working hour. There will be “on-foot” and “on-bike” student-workers but just the ones that 

are “on-bike” are paid. The Chancellor office will fund for safety equipment such as 

lightings, bicycles and uniforms as well as provide certified safety instructors to supervise the 

workers. Phil Crawford looks forward to seeing this program done in order to help SJCC in 

increasing students’ enrollments 

Nora Atwal says that Campus Safety Program as named CADET program was brought to the 

AS council before and couldn’t get approved. Reason is AS Constitution does not allow to 

pay student-workers hourly wages. 

Phil Crawford says that there could be solution if the AS transfers funds to Student Life 

budget to pay the wages. He assumes that budgets of the AS and Student Life are all from one 

source. However, he is clueless about how they are funded. He was told by the Chancellor 

and the office of Vice President of Business Services that this program must come out from 

the AS’s budget, that is why he comes to see Phil Renteria. 

Tin Tran says that the fact is budget of the AS and budget of Student Life are funded from 

different sources. 

6.9 AAU Power lifting Athletics 

Athletic Department will host AAU Power lifting event on Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 

SJCC’s Fitness center. This is a free-admission event which has been received a lot of signsup 

by competitors. The Athletic department wants the AS to provide some refreshments 

during the event.

4.4. Club Chartering/Seed Funding 

Muslim Student Association has been created to promote awareness of Muslim 

culture.

Motion to charter the Muslim Student Association: Broussard/Burns/pass 

Woods and Broussard stress to the members the importance of having a club 

representative at all AS meetings. Woods reminds the club that all of the 

agendas and minutes from club meetings need to be sent to the Director of 

Finance. Macias states that he is very interested in learning more about the club. 

Browne expresses his frustration because his club has not yet been chartered. 

Broussard states that the paperwork she received had not been filled out 

completely (there were no club objectives or purposes filled out) and that as soon 

as she has the complete paperwork, the club can charter. 

4.5. Club Disciplinary Actions 

The Computer Club, with the exception of one meeting, has not attended 

meetings since they were chartered. In addition, the club’s president e-mailed 

the AS Vice-President and indicated that none of their members can attend the 

AS meetings. 

Motion to suspend the charter for the Computer Club: Melocik/Burns/pass 

5.0 Consent Agenda Action Items – none 


6.1. AS Officers/Clubs Printer – tabled 

6.2. AS Calculators 

Motion to release $840.00 from account # 2251 to reimburse Hoffman for 

calculator purchases: Griffith/Melocik/pass 

The council has previously agreed to purchase more calculators for the calculator 

rental program. Hoffman will be consulting with instructors and relying on them 

to set the standards for what calculators will be used. Currently the money for 

the calculator purchases will be coming from Hoffman’s pocket and the AS will 

reimburse her, although she would prefer that the AS use their debit card to 

purchase the calculators if it is obtained beforehand. Bakhshi asks the price of 

calculator rentals; Hoffman states that it is $25/semester. Griffith states that this 

had been budgeted last year and will be coming from last year’s money, not this 

year’s money.

6.4. Scholarship Changes 

Motion to change the scholarships in account #4536.10 (DSP) and #4536.08 

(A Horn Memorial): Griffith/Broussard/pass 

Last week Financial Aid made a request that a scholarship fund be created for 

foster youth. Rather than creating a new scholarship, Griffith suggests that the 

DSP scholarship be changed to the Foster Youth Scholarship since there are 

already 2 DSP scholarships available through Financial Aid. He also suggests 

moving $100 from that account into the A Horn Memorial Scholarship account. 

This would make the Foster Youth Scholarship $400 and the A Horn Memorial

Scholarship $300. Renteria requests a point of clarification and asks if this 

means the AS will not be giving a DSP scholarship at all; Griffith states yes.

Coatney says that he underestimated the amount of coffee equipment that would 

be needed for events. He mentions that buying 2 carafes would actually be a 

better idea. 

Motion to amend the previous motion to release $300.00 from account 

#4572.71 for 2 new coffee carafes: Broussard/Burns/pass

7.1. College Marketer Address 

7.2. Transfer Center 

The Transfer Center helps students to transfer to schools at the upper division 

status. Gressley has put together a proposal of services that the Transfer Center 

would be able to provide if the council allocated money for the center. They 

could do outreach, purchase supplies for outreach, tell students about transfer 

services, taking students to visit other campuses, etc. They have transfer 

agreements with many schools, including San Jose State University and many of 

the UC schools. Diffenderfer thanks Gressley for coming and asks how the 

previous evening’s Transfer Night went. He hopes that the Transfer Center and 

the AS could coordinate events in the future. She feels that it is very important to 

include the evening students since they have not received a lot of outreach in the 

past. Her goal is to have two Transfer Days and two Transfer Nights each 

semester. 

7.3. Morgan Amusement Equipment Agreement Renewal 

With the arcade room currently down, little income has been generated by the 

video games. Hoffman informs the council that the contract with Morgan 

Amusement company expired August 15 th and is currently on a month-to-month 

basis. She says that the AS needs to either renew the agreement with Morgan 

Amusements or to go with another company. Hoffman is giving copies of the 

new contract with the Advisor and the Vice-President to look over with the 

council. She also states that this company has been making irregular deposits 

lately. In the past they used to take the money Melocik asks why no one knew 

beforehand that this contract was expiring. Woods says that no one said 

anything to him when he called the company regarding machines. Hoffman says 

that Business Services had known about it but forgot to bring it to the attention of

the council until long after it had expired. Burns asks if the council could get 

copies of all of their contracts. She is concerned because this is the second time 

this semester that something like this has happened. Burns says that the council 

wasn’t told that a CD was maturing until it was a week from the deadline and now 

they are learning that a contract expired two months ago. Hoffman says that she 

didn’t even have a copy herself, but that her supervisor was the holder of the 

contract. She claims that she mentioned to the AS two months ago and that the 

AS chose to not act until close to the deadline. Renteria states that a list needs 

to be established as to what contracts the AS has so they can calendar those 

expiry dates. Hoffman says that Business Services is currently working on that 

list. Coatney says that he spoke with someone who came to look at the games 

and learned that Morgan Amusement may have sold the AS account to another 

company without informing the council. He suggests that the council may want 

to consider a different company. 

7.4. Athletics 

Stagnaro thanks the council for letting him come in to address them. He explains 

some of the budget problems the Athletic department has had this semester. 

The department is currently about $12,000 over budget due to changes in some 

of their fixed costs and some unexpected expenses. They are looking into 

different avenues of revenue and asking for help in taking care of these 

expenses. Diffenderfer asks if the council helps the Athletic Department, will this 

be in lieu of individual approaches from the various coaches? Stagnaro says that 

this is correct. Diffenderfer says that it would be good if the Athletic Department 

could also help to support the AS events, whether by attending or helping to 

advertise them. Broussard asks if the Athletic Department will be asking for the 

full $12,000. Stagnaro says whatever amount the council decides to contribute 

will be appreciated. Hoffman asks if the budget will be in line for next year. 

Stagnaro hopes so; he has spoken to the district and to the finance committee 

and has researched the increases. He is trying to rectify the problem and looking 

at where to cut costs. He mentions that all of the sports try to raise funds for 

things like uniforms and travel expenses. To illustrate how unexpected expenses 

can arise, Stagnaro tells the council about how the athletes had to stay overnight 

in a city in order to play a game the next morning. If they had not, they would 

have had to forfeit the game. Just that one instance overextended the budget. 

7.5. Robert’s Rules of Order 

Because many of the attendees are new to the format of the AS meetings, 

Melocik has put together a packet of information regarding the language that is 

used when making motions, the order of the meetings, etc. She hopes that this 

will be helpful reference for those attending the meetings and will help things run 

more smoothly. She offers to e-mail copies to anyone who might need a packet 

later in the semester. 

7.6. JumboTron – deferred 

7.7. Custodial Services 

Gordon was cc’d an e-mail regarding the restroom conditions. He has come to 

the council for a bit of fact finding, especially for information regarding the 

restrooms. Normally the bulk of his staff arrives at 4pm, but he has split his staff 

throughout the day in order to service the restrooms. Melocik says that she 

thinks the problems in the restrooms has more to do with the carelessness of 

students rather than negligence on the part of the custodians. She doesn’t know 

how one person could manage to keep up with the mess that is sometimes 

created. Diffenderfer wonders if it is a capacity issue, that some areas receive 

excessively heavy traffic and generate more of a mess. Gordon agrees that 

when the GE building restrooms were being repaired, traffic increased greatly in 

the library and student center. Griffith asks why some of the classrooms in the 

Tech building are locked when other classrooms are not. Gordon speculates that 

it could be due to fear of theft of the computers. The custodial staff has an 

“unlock” list and he will speak to the dean of that department and investigate to 

see if this classroom (T-304) should be on the unlock list. T’a suggests that 

some of the restroom issues could be resolved with an additional trashcan and 

another paper towel dispenser. This would reduce the amount of water on the

floor. Gordon asks the council to look over the new paper towel dispensers in 

the refurbished GE restrooms and to give him feedback on them. Renteria 

thanks Gordon for coming and points out to the council that Gordon is the district 

custodial head. Coatney mentions to Gordon that there was a problem last night 

at the Hypnopalooza event. Even though the facility request had been filled out 

months ago, nothing had been set up at all. Gordon says that he doesn’t know 

why this happened; sometimes things slip through, but he will investigate this. 

He recommends that if something like this happens again, to call the Campus 

Police and have them dispatch custodial. 

7.8. QuickBooks 

Last year, the council approved the purchase of QuickBooks software for the 

Director of Finance. Griffith has received new information regarding the software 

and would like the council to release an additional $250 in order to augment the 

QuickBooks package. This will be an action item next week. 

8.0 Officer Reports 

Vice-President 

Broussard has been organizing the Club Workshop and the CDC Fall event. She 

reminds the council that volunteers will be needed for the CDC event. Broussard strongly 

urges all clubs to participate in the workshop. 

Director of Finance 

Griffith reminds everyone that all financial documents need to go to the Director of 

Finance before going to Business Services, as well as all agendas and minutes. No 

expenditure requests can be done until the minutes are received. 

Secretary 

Melocik states that under the best of circumstances the minutes would have been ready 

for today’s meeting. Unfortunately there was a lack of volunteers for last week’s 

Homecoming events and she and a couple other AS officers had to do all of the work. 

This left them overworked, exhausted, and with little time to do their other tasks (including 

finishing the minutes). If more people had come to help as they claimed they would, 

things would have gone smoothly and no one would have been overworked. She has 

been working very hard. 

Commissioner of the Student Center 

Bakhshi has been trying to find out the status of the construction in the student center. 

He hasn’t seen any contractors working on it, but he believes that Renteria is already 

looking into the matter. 

Director of Activities 

Coatney has been disgusted by the lack of help lately. Putting on an event – even a 

simple event – takes lots of manpower and the proper equipment. At last night’s 

Hypnopalooza, he was by himself trying to get things ready for the event. He is frustrated 

by the lack of club participation and wishes that those who are not interested in events 

would vote “no” on them when they are on the agenda instead of giving false support. He 

also points out to the council that by voting “no” on the 2 nd carafe, it has made the work 

much more difficult for those who do show up to help. 

Commissioner of Publicity 

This month’s newspaper ad will include information about MEChA, Beta Epsilon Nu, and 

MHCA clubs. 

Cal-SACC Representative 

Binion is working with a trucking company to see if they can help to sponsor the 

JumboTron. 

Newsletter Editor – none 

Student Trustee 

Diffenderfer wants to personally thank Coatney, Melocik, and Burns for the outstanding 

job that they did during Homecoming. It was a very difficult week and they did a lot of 

hard work over an extended period of time. 

Advisor 

Renteria states that the council probably doesn’t realize what went on last week. 

Volunteer help was hit or miss. He states that those who agree to be AS officers should 

be putting in the same amount of time and effort as the other AS officers, regardless of 

how many units they are taking. If council members don’t have enough time to fulfill their 

obligations, he suggests that they resign. Renteria questions how people can decide that

equipment is unnecessary if they haven’t even gone to the events to see how much work 

is involved. That judgment can’t be made just by looking at the budget. He is upset 

because several people were literally suffering last week while trying to do the work 

needed for the events. Fortunately the intent and organization of the events helped to 

make them successful. He thanks those who attended and worked on the events and 

urges those who didn’t to participate in the next ones. Renteria thanks Griffith for 

pointing out that all financial items go through the Director of Finance. They also need to 

go to Renteria before going to Business Services. Renteria reminds the council that the 

emergency door in the back of the AS office is not to be opened without permission. 

President 

Woods thanks Coatney for his outstanding work and for his team. He expects everyone 

to pitch in for the next event. No students should be able to say that they didn’t know 

about an AS event. He hopes that in the future everyone takes the initiative and offers to 

help. 


MHCA 

Calvelli is working with his club. It is hard to get someone to take minutes and create 

agendas right now. 

MSA – none 

Puente 

There have been some communication problems with the club. The club president is 

trying to get things organized so they can focus on community service and volunteering. 

He apologizes for the lack of volunteers from his club at the last few events. 

Beta Epsilon Nu – none 

Multicultural Club 

The club’s bowling event will be next Saturday. They are currently looking into 

fundraising activities in order to pay for trips to other universities. The success of the ice 

cream social brought them a lot of new members. 


Fundraising Committee 

The committee has raised over $42 for the Percy Carr Athletic Scholarship Fund. 

Melocik is working with Renteria to find out the details on how to get the money into that 

account. 

Safety Committee 

The first meeting will be the first or second Thursday of each month, but it is still in the 

planning stages. 

College Planning Council 

This committee will be meeting this Friday in SC-204 from 9am until 12pm. Burns has 

notes from the last meeting to give to the other attendees. 


11.1. Written Communication 

As part of the Community Arts & Lectures program, California State Assembly

helping fund the trip. Students spoke of their experiences and how the trip has changed 

their lives and goals. Students that went explained how they came back with a different 

attitude. It was a great learning experience. The knowledge learned could not be taught in a 

classroom. Valuable gifts were given to those that went on the trip to Vietnam. The 

scholarship for the GEO Program is open to all students including the AS. The Program 

hopes to recruit better next time. They are working on visiting Latin America next, then 

Africa. Their goal is to bring low income students to third world countries.

6.8 CalSACC Rep Attendance to Sacramento Meetings

2007. It would be beneficial to send the two representatives before the assembly so that can

person). 

7.0 Officers Reports 

Secretary 

Addresses library issue: library hours need to be extended. Other students feel the same way. 

Vice President 

The end of the semester is coming soon. We want to make sure that the rest of the events go well and 

that we meet students’ needs. The job isn’t done until the events are done and successful. Devera 

loves the amount of participation. He is looking forward to representing on a state wide level next 

semester. 

Publicity 

Fagan states that is a tragedy that Devera is not running for President after all. Fagan has been 

working on flyers for the Elections BBQ. He also has been promoting elections by getting out forms 

and flyers. He would like everyone to take part in the elections. Congratulations to Devera for 

taking over elections. 

Newsletter Editor 

Jackson is finishing up the last stories on newsletter. 

Cal Sac Representative 

None 

Commissioner of Student Center 

Apologizes for taking anger taken out on others. There’s a possibility Chavez has cancer and he 

thought about leaving the council and school. After talking to Renteria and Serna, he has decided to 

stay until the end of the semester. 

Chavez has been going around campus and notices doors that don’t have automatic opening for the 

handicapped. He asks A.S. to look into the matter. 

Evening Students 

Addresses a parking issue: there is not enough parking. He and Dorothy Cantu came up with a 

survey for the evening students. Strom wants students to speak out. 

Director of Activities 

We need volunteers for the elections BBQ. Sign-up is posted on his office door (SC115E). Coatney 

also spoke with Danenberg about possibly doing an evening students dinner. He will have more 

information at next weeks meeting. 

A.S. Advisor: Renteria 

Renteria sums up a conclusion that we have several activities coming up. Keep in mind that a budget 

for next year needs to be set up by 04/15/07. The council needs to think about where they want the 

money to go so we don’t have to turn down students again that we don’t want to turn down. Renteria 

will talk to Serna about setting up a budget committee. Mr. Renteria is asking that ALL election 

activities be put on hold until we have a meeting for candidates running for office. Issues such as 

parking, smoking, and disable-student accessibility brought something to his attention. It is 

important to know the process of how to take action! A.S. can have a big influence on issues. It is

important to gather support and talk to administration. Students have a very strong voice, but it has 

to be done in a certain way. 

The condition of A.S. offices is also addressed by Renteria. Students have been allowed to trash the 

place. It is not the advisor or his assistant to police. It is the responsibility of the A.S. King brought 

up a solution and solutions need to continue to come from A.S. 

President

The club had a meeting on Monday. Winn is not sure when they meet next; however, he does know 

that at the next meeting they will have a discussion about a workshop they will put on. 

Black Student Union 

John King there reported back to campus last week. He is very displeased and will assure in the 

future he will have something on paper. King states the A.S. things being said and attitudes should 

be taken outside of A.S. His point is that A.S. is about business. A.S. is a learning experience. 

Philosophy Club 

Their first meeting will be this Thursday in room GE131 at 1:30pm. 

Beta Epsilon NU 

They want to have a book drive where students can donate books to equip our country. Tautolo also 

is sorry to hear that Devera is no longer planning on running for President. 



None 


The Chief of Police was invited to our meeting to address issues and he will be invited back 

again. Chavez states that he feels there is a need for them to be present. Chavez mentioned 

that something happened in the recreation room and nothing was done and the A.S. needs to 

be informed. Chavez has also sent an e-mail to the VP regarding pornographic websites 

being viewed at school and wants A.S. to take action by putting it on the next agenda. He will 

keep pushing. 

Renteria announces that the Chief of Police will be present at the next meeting. He also asks 

for volunteers to help put the tables into lecture style after the meeting. 

Devera thanks Jackson for setting up our tables alone.

2.1 Minutes for Meeting of March 12, 2008

Motion to approve the minutes as they stand: Griffith/Melocik/pass 


Phelps, faculty advisor for MHCA, is glad to see the club’s charter on the agenda. He is concerned about 

keeping materials; earlier this morning they thought they had a place but they couldn’t get in due to a locked 

cabinet. They’ve had materials thrown out and would like some kind of system in place to protect their 

resources. 

Renteria corrects the council’s parliamentary procedures as per the State Parliament. Henceforth there will be 

no more suspension of the order of the day; instead the council will table items in between the item currently 

on the agenda and the item the council wishes to discuss at that moment. 

Pepper previously asked the AS to send representatives to the Latina Leadership Conference, had 4 students 

attend, feels it was a productive conference. 

T’a thanks the AS for allowing her to attend; the time was memorable. She networked and conducted several 

interviews, one with Dolores Huerta and another with Rita Chavez. 

Gonzales also thanks the AS. Attending the conference offered her the opportunity to meet other students from 

other schools and made her feel a part of the college. It was very encouraging, workshops were excellent, and 

she was able to bring home some giveaways. She took several pictures at the conference and will share them 

with the council when she has the opportunity. 

Valdez wants to thanks the AS for the opportunity to attend. She was inspired and humbled, and felt that it was 

amazing. The food was wonderful and hopes that she has the opportunity to go again next year. 

Velasquez states that men should also go to this conference to view women’s issues and struggles. 

Pepper states that EVC sent 21 representatives.

them a separate item.

5.7 Cesar Chavez Day 

Motion to release $995.00 from acct. #4221 to pay for MEChA’s Cesar Chavez Day celebration 

on campus: Griffith/Tran/pass 

Gutierrez passes out a flyer detailing the expenses of the event, such as the food, decorations, and 

the music. MEChA will not be paying for the dancers or the speakers since those people volunteered 

to be at the event. Gutierrez tried very hard to keep economy in mind. Griffith asks if the importance 

of Cesar Chavez can be explained since not everyone may be familiar with him; Renteria states that 

Chavez was a champion for farm worker rights and brought national attention to their plight. He fought 

for civil human rights and was a native of San Jose. Gutierrez says that SJCC is the only school with 

a building named after Chavez. MEChA plans to continue to volunteer and advocate for the students 

throughout the semester. Coatney asks if this is also a MEChA fundraising event. He has also 

originally understood that MEChA would be asking for a much lower amount for this event, but now it 

has doubled. Gutierrez had thought that they would also be getting some funding from other sources, 

but that fell through. Coatney suggests that MEChA ask for a lower amount and plan to use part of the 

funds they raise to pay for the event.

Coatney/Bayley/pass 

Melocik suggests that these prizes can be in the form of scholarships since the council can’t issue 

cash prizes to the winners. She asks if council members can participate in the contest; Griffith states 

that they can as long as they are not members of the Earth Day committee or judging the contest.

acknowledged, etc., unless the minutes reflect that the activity has been brought before the council 

and proper procedure has been followed. He requests that the Vice-President send out notices to all 

of the clubs stating this. 

MHCA is planning an event for the end of April; they hope to have a forum on building the cultures of 

peace. They will add this to information items as soon as they can. 

6.3 Malcolm X Conference – deferred 

6.4 Science Club T-Shirts – deferred 

6.5 Sigma Eta Beta Hair Competition 

The club attended a hair show in Sacramento this past weekend; they won 1 st place in nails and 3 rd 

place in hair. They will be seeking reimbursement for their expenses (gas, materials, lodging). 

Melocik and Griffith ask why they are not taking those funds from the club account; Griffith suggests 

speaking to their advisor about that account. 

6.6 Associated Students Elections 

Bayley reminds the council that elections are coming! Applications to run for AS President, Vice- 

President, Director of Finance, Director of Activities, and Student Trustee are available as of today. 

Griffith asks if there can be write-in candidates for the election; Bayley states that there can, but those 

candidates still need to meet the requirements of that office in order to be eligible. Bayley states the 

election deadlines: 

Publicity deadline March 25 th 

Newspaper deadline March 26 th 

Candidate applications April 4 th

6.9 Textbooks 

King is grateful for the opportunity to speak before the council today. He is requesting that the council 

help fund textbooks to have on reserve at the library. The library wants to make the expensive 

textbooks available to all students equitably and is willing to limit the loan periods so that all students 

can benefit. King knows that the council has had a book loans and grants program in the past and 

says it’s a worthy cause, but would like to support the other students as well. He intends to track the 

checkouts in the computer. If students don’t have the textbook available, they can’t take the class. 

Reserved textbooks are the most desired books in the library. 10 years ago the librarians received 

$10,000 dollars as a grant and bought every textbook over $50. A lot of math, science, and art books 

are upwards of $100. The purchase was greatly appreciated by the student body, but because of 

inflation the library cannot purchase more textbooks. Textbooks tend to increase in price more than 

inflation. Sadly, they are required to dedicate a lot of their static budget towards other things like 

Electronic Databases and DVDs. As a result they don’t have enough money left to purchase 

textbooks, especially because of the transitory nature of textbooks. Even when the textbook is no 

longer required, they will have long-term value because students can still check it out. Most of the 

material may remain the same between editions, or may offer a different point of view. The librarians 

have sent out e-mails asking instructors for extra textbooks, but they usually don’t get them. Coatney

asks who they have gone to besides the teachers; King says occasionally they receive extra books 

from the bookstore, but very rarely. 

6.10 Hershey’s Kisses and Bags 

Business Services asked that this be brought back before the council, but it may not need to be an 

information item. The wording on the minutes regarding the Kiss & A Condom event stated that 

“supplies” would be purchased, but the Hershey’s Kisses and baggies were not specified. Melocik will 

bring the minutes regarding the event to next week’s meeting so those minutes can be corrected. 

7.0 Officers’ Reports 

Vice-President 

Broussard apologizes for being late to the meeting, but she had an emergency come up at the last minute. 

She reminds everyone to nominate people for the Hall of Excellence awards. 

Director of Finance – none

Bayley apologizes for the problems that have come up regarding the election publicity; he assures the council

Advisor 

Renteria would like to meet with all of the AS officers tomorrow at 3pm. He reminds the council of the 

importance of following procedures regarding events. He agrees that people need to be reimbursed for activity 

expenses and mileage, and suggests that those expenses be built into the budget when planned. Renteria 

announces that KJCC’s broadcast is working again! He also reminds the council that 1000 Kindergarteners 

will be on campus as college students for Kindercaminata on April 22 nd . He asks everyone to volunteer, either 

as a tour guide or monitor, to help with registration, etc. Those who are interested should speak to the Student 

Life assistant. A free financial workshop will be held in t-415 tomorrow from 1pm-3pm. Lunch will be served 

and Renteria invites all students to attend. He encourages everyone to run, volunteer, vote, and attend this 

semester’s AS elections. 

President 

There will be a special AS meeting held in SC-115 at 3pm on Monday, March 31 st . Woods asks that everyone 

work together to help the meetings to start on time. He requests that more signs regarding the election be put 

near the Science building. 


MHCA 

Regarding the clubs box of flyers, Calvelli needs some sort of resolution. He will be discussing the matter with 

the AS officers. 

Beta Epsilon Nu 

The March events went very well; there was a wonderful event with the congresswoman, the cosmetology and 

nursing students turned out in droves to see “Norma Rae”, and a very personable audience showed up to see 

the district attorney. Rollins hopes April & May go just as well.

5.6 Club Day 

Due to lack of volunteers there will only be a BBQ, food eating contest and booths 

set up by clubs. We do not have the resources to have carnivals games as we did 

in the past. Broussard was thinking to defer this issue due to the fact that the 

budget was going to change. The council advised that she needs to go ahead with 

the submitted budget due to the fact that there is no time to approve a new one. 

She was reminded that any funds left over can be turned back in.

6.5 CalSACC Leadership Summit 

Student trustee announces that usually in the fall CalSACC would have the Fall 

conference but this year the are having a Leadership Summit. The summit will 

consists of 50-75 students from all the community colleges in California. The 

date for the Summit is Oct. 29 th -30 th . They are looking at possibly hosting the 

Summit here. The only thing we would need to supply as a school is use of our 

facilities, 3 meals and possibly some printing cost. CalSACC is willing to 

reimburse 50% of what we spend on food. A plus for our school hosting the 

summit is that our students who attend will have the registration fee waived, and 

since this conference is in our own backyard we will incur $0 hotel cost and 

transportation cost. 

Advisor objects to the idea of the summit due to the fact that last semester we 

hosted a similar summit. He feels that we are being taken advantage of as a 

school. Student Trustee Shreffler strongly disagrees with the statements of 

Advisor Renteria.
